Abstract (en)
Devices and methods for restricting the use of the operator terminal of an operator of a vehicle are provided. In a method by an operator terminal, the operator terminal determines that the engine of the vehicle is running, determines that the operator is in the driver's seat, and changes the configuration of the operator terminal in response to determining that the engine is running and that the operator is in the driver's seat. The device and method can be used to restrict the use of cellular phones by drivers sitting in a vehicle with the engine running in accordance with laws in certain jurisdictions.
